First winner of the season gets us off to a good start and puts everyone in profit, if only for the day or so. If you’ve read the System Explained sticky where I outline the kind of stats we’re looking for, today makes us right on target. 1. 20% strike-rate. 2. Average price over 4/1. 3. Beat SP by 20%. 9/1 was available 20% over SP. My average price for the winner was slightly under because I always spread my bets between Bookies on larger priced horses, this is what I would advise you all to do if you’re having a sizeable amount on, say £20 or over. For shorter prices it doesn’t matter. It gives everyone a chance of a piece of the best price and keeps you under the bookies radar.
